Eberechi Eze’s 39th-minute goal against his former club sealed all three points for Mikel Arteta’s men, who continue to lead the Premier League table. The Gunners are now four points clear at the top of the table, six ahead of Manchester City and seven ahead of Liverpool, maintaining their status as the team to beat.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been warned that he could lose his job if he fails to deliver the Premier League title as the Gunners have already opened up a sizeable gap at the top.

Meanwhile, all three newly promoted clubs have won on the same Premier League matchday for the first time since November 2020.
